The Miss Costa Maya Pageant is scheduled to take place on August 7th 2014 and Belize will be represented by Orange Walk’s very own Grisel Rosseli Carballo who is no stranger to the world of pageantry.

The announcement was made today by the Costa Maya Festival organization. In 2011 Carballo was the first runner-up in the Miss Orange Walk and then she went on to win the title of Miss Diosa Maya 2013.

Carballo, who is 22 years old is presently the Director of Public Relations for the Rotaract Club in Orange Walk Town and is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management at the University of Belize. We are also proud to note that she hosted the “La Voz Karaoke” competition this year carried out by Centaur.

Carballo will go up against Miss El Salvador Ana Graciela, Miss Honduras Maria Jose Alvarado Muñoz, Miss Nicaragua Katherine Tapia, and Miss Panama Karol Salinas for the crown. Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico are yet to announce their candidate. We wish Grisel the best of luck.
